I started making a bag (Priscilla Hewitt's Summer Sling Tote) for a friend of mine. It looked like this when I realized that there was no way it would hold up as a bag. The sides were lopsided, floppy, and just all around un-bag-like. Dismayed, I frogged the two sides and decided to make something more suitable for the yarn I was using (Wool-Ease Chunky). I decided on a zig-zag scarf and, not happy with any of the zig-zag scarf patterns I found, ended up modifying a zig-zag afghan pattern (Susan B's Easy Ripple Afghan, found here: http://home.att.net/~susanBinKC/patterns/ripple.html). My first shot at it looked like this:(notice all the loose ends to weave in?)

At this length, the scarf began looking way too wide. It was from an afghan pattern, after all...so once again I frogged hours of dc stitches. I had cut the yarn at each color change, and ended up with many short pieces of the balls of yarn I had started with. I modified the already-modified pattern to half the width, added a fringe, and ended up with this:(me showing off my work)

*whew!* Great job! I might have just taken those little balls of yarn and thrown them out the window by that point. I admire your dedication, and the finished result is wonderful! Way to be patient, dedicated and thrifty!!

My zombie gnome was a 2013 Featured Project, my KISS gnomes were an Aug. '14 Featured Project, my TARDIS was a Feb. '16 Featured Project, and my Grinch was a Nov. '16 Featured Project. Thanks for voting for them.

This is very cute for as simple as it probably was to make (not counting the previous first two tries). I have quite a bit of patience for finishing projects that take awhile but have very little patience for tearing stuff out and redoing it, so I applaud your efforts
